    My family is meeting me at the Grand Floridian for our brunch reservations (none of us are sleeping there) we are the only oneswith the Disney app and we will be in separate cars. How can they show the cast member our reservations to get in so they canpark

    Hello Marie! You are visiting my favorite Walt Disney World Resort hotel! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is the place I like to call my “Disney home!” 

    Brunch at the Grand Floridian is a great way to spend some time with your family! Guests visiting the Grand Floridian for dining should be prepared to share their reservation information with the Cast Member at the front gate of the resort. As the holder of the reservation, you might want to take a screenshot of your reservation and then send it to the other members of your family. 

    Here is a PRO TIP for you, Marie! Guests visiting a Disney World hotel for dining, entertainment, recreation, or shopping do not have to pay for parking! 

    Marie, spend some time touring this beautiful Disney World hotel! The landscaping is always perfect for any season at the Grand Floridian! If you enjoy shopping, I recommend Curiouser Clothiers, located on the first floor. My wife loves Basin White, located on the second floor. While she’s in there, I usually sneak over to M. Mouse Mercantile to look at (and buy) the Disney pins!

    Marie, have a great time visiting the Grand Floridian with your family!

    Dreams do come true!
